Students, please note that for free academic use of PVS-Studio you MUST including a comment similar to the following at the top of each of your source code files:

Such a comment is required in each file with extensions like c, cc, cpp, cs, and so on, but not header files with h extensions. If you do not include a suitable comment, you will see an error message like "Please request a trial license from our support".
